Do your homework first..then buy.....How many people return their automobiles......???
If I buy something..I will resale it...not make me a fool in another dealers eyes, by returning it.... 
The problem is you cannot do your homework. Independents won;t carry merchandise that has been proven to be for "demo use only"
IM telling you Pro keyboard players will not pay $3000 for a workstation if they can save $210 tax PLUS buy it under MAP. We had a Motif for a year and had many demo player. Saw the same guys playing them in local bands. I told the owner to put more Arrangers in their place. WE get people asking us for Workstations all day long but I explain to them why we don;t carry them. They understand and are forced to use the generous return policies of the Internet stores which as a retailer I ENCOURAGE them to use. I could care less if it's a burden to Musicians's Friend. Its their policy not ours.
